Proposed CNY charter school seeks board members as it works on resubmitting application

Organizers of the proposed CNY Institute of Academics and Performance Charter School are looking for people interested in serving on the school's board of trustees.

The organizers, who withdrew their application for the charter school last year, plan to file an improved application with hopes they can open the school for the 2015-16 school year.

People interested in serving on the board can submit resumes to thomas.patrina@yahoo.com through Aug. 29. Some candidates will be chosen from interviews in September.

The school is looking for people with five years of experience in business/accounting, curriculum development, technology, performing art, athletics, transportation and food services.

The school's mission is to provide collaborative efforts among students, educators, parents, artists, athletes, and community and government leaders to advance academic performance and graduation rates of at-risk high school students and prepare them for college, vocational studies or the work force.
